Our first meeting at La Pita went off better then I expected!! We had about 20 people there.
Thank you Tim. You will have to tell me if you got business from your presintation.
March 11, 2008 our speaker is: Robert W. Hooley, VP Emerging Technologies, Greater Phoenix Economic Council. His presintation wil be about Arizona's solar programs.
The Sun is our greatest energy source, providing the potential for powerful, reliable, renewable, and clean energy to supply all of our energy needs throughout the world. The sun produces some 386 billion MWs of energy.
This past year, Arizona utilities led by APS called for the development and building of a 250MW solar generating facility. ASU's President Dr. Michael Crow has asked that the university's campus be 'solarized', and issued an RFP for 7MW of power. With such an abundant supply of sunlight in our state (and surrounding states), why hasn't the southwest embraced solar energy as an economic and job growth engine. This transition would help both the need for a clean and renewable energy source and a way of economic vitality for the region, state, and southwest-potentially eliminating the country's dependence on other forms of high emission fuels?
Robert W. Hooley, VP Emerging Technologies at GPEC will present "Solar Energy Generation for a New Generation" and discuss some of the State's and region's efforts. He will discuss technically as to the value of distributed and non-distributed solar generation and how it relates to the elimination of energy dependency on fossil fuels. http://www.gpec.org/
April 8, 2008 GAMES, GAMES, GAMES
The Speaker will be: Ashish Amresh, Lecturer, School of Computing and Informatics, Arizona State Univeristy.
The School of Computing & Informatics in partnership with the College of Education and The School of Art will be launching a university wide non-degree certificate program in computer gaming starting Fall 08. This six course 18 credit certificate will have three different areas of emphasis or tracks that the students can specialize in. These tracks are programming, art and education. The students will have to take two core classes followed by a track area core class and two track area electives. The final course is a capstone project that teams of students work with faculty and industry to solve real world problems. Two gaming labs are currently being built one at the Brickyard and another at SkySong to accelerate the curriculum and enrollment needs for this certificate. The School of Computing & Informatics also organizes a six week full time summer camp in game development for high school students. Currently pilot courses are being offered to undergraduate students in game development and the curriculum for the certificate is being tested and refined.

Coming up in February
Thank you Joan, you were great!
To those folks that missed this months presentation you missed a very good one!!
We had a little problem with the venue again so we, Alix and I, have decided to change the location. The new location is a small Bar & Grill named La Pita, 505 South Mill Ave, in Tempe. It is just south of the Library. It is also a pretty good Mideastern restaurant.
The next speaker on February 12, 2008, is Timothy C. Eschrich; Process Engineering Manager, ASU Center for Solid State Electronics Research (CSSER). Tim has over 25 years experience in the semiconductor industry, spanning industrial R&D, volume manufacturing and university research. He has contributed in the areas of compound semiconductors, CMOS processing, flat panel display technologies, Si-MEMS and novel thin film thermoelectric materials. His recent activities at CSSER have included photo lithography, wet and plasma etching, and metallization for a wide range of materials systems. Professional activities include AVS membership and publications including one patent and over 20 refereed papers and presentations.His talk will provide an overview of the capabilities of the ASU Nanofab, a 4000 SF Class 100 research facility. It is available for both academic research and support of both start up and larger companies in AZ. Mechanisms to make use of the facility will also be reviewed..
We do not have a speaker for March yet so if you have a suggestion please let me know.
===============================================================
On February 14, 2008, yeah, I know Valentines Day, the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering and the City of Tempe are hosting the next Research Breakfast Forum, this one on Nanotechnology and Nano-electronics. Please contact Herb.f@asu.edu to register (just state that you read it on the TECHWIZARD's blog) and get more information, where, when, who.
The forum is FREE along with the continental breakfast.
Hope to hear from you soon.
